We specialise in children's tuition and take pupils from the age of 2 and a half upwards.

Margaret Dance Academy enters children for Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance Tap and Modern Exams, Royal Academy of Dance Ballet, exams and LAMDA and Guildhall Drama Exams.

Our aims are to:

Build your child’s confidence and enable them to work within a group, respecting and mixing with other children within their class and build their social skills

Provide young people with a creative, physical outlet

Encourage teamwork, a sense of achievement and enjoyment

Put pupils' welfare, safety and growth, first

Exams
The opportunity is there for all to take exams, but these are not mandatory and any child who finds exams distressing is welcome to study dance and drama purely for enjoyment and will be moved up in accordance with their personal growth.

Shows
Every child in the Academy may participate in our shows. These give parents an opportunity to see how the class has progressed, are a lot of fun and a great confidence booster for all who participate!

We have successful results in Ballet, Tap, Modern and Drama with a 100% pass rate, however our main priority is to give enjoyment, a sense of achievement and for every child to develop their potential.

Examination Procedure
Your child's progress will be assessed by our qualified teachers. When they feel that your child has achieved the level required, you will be advised that they are about to be entered for an exam.
Extra classes are run in preparation for examinations. Your child will be required to attend these coaching sessions in addition to normal lessons as these are essential to put the finishing polish on your child’s dance presentation. A separate fee will be charged for these.
